It doesn't pay to try,
All the smart girls know why,
It doesn't mean, I didn't try,
I just never know, why.
It's been 'cause I'm all alone
Oh, baby, you're not home.
And when I'm on
Big deal, I'm still alone.
It's so restless, I am,
Beat my head against a pole
Try to knock some sense, down in my bones.
And even though they don't show,
The scars aren't so old
And when they go,
They let you know
You can't put your arms around a memory
You can't put your arms around a memory
You can't put your arms around a memory
Don't try, aaa don't try
You're just a basket case,
And you that no name
Cause you're living with me,
We're one and the same
And even though they dont show,
They scars aren't so old
And when they go,
They let you know
You can't put your arms around a memory
You can't put your arms around a memory
You can't put your arms around a memory
Don't try, don't try
You can't put your arms around a memory
You can't put your arms around a memory
You can't put your arms around a memory
Don't try, don't try
